Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

The end of the first song is amazing...all album are great
The Fairlight album! Due to the cost of the Fairlight, not many artists could afford one, no surprise JMJ had one then. The Fairlight CMI was a very sophisticated sampler for its day any many of the CMI sound banks are still sought after today, particularly vocal/choir samples. The album is years ahead of its time, the way vocal sounds are manipulated and sampled is clever stuff. I love the drums on this album also, Linn LM1, Simmons Drums, really give this album a futuristic feel.
Incredibly ahead of its time.
An excellent album. Totally underrated and possibly, dare I say it, better than Oxygene, which makes Zoolook Jarre's best album in my opinion. Way ahead of it's time.
jean michel jarre is an inventor, a pioneer who released the small effects of records "electronic" and made it a real musical instrument .... there is something universal and obvious today, but when it started, it was not won .. of course, there were already Kraftwerk and disco premises, but Zoolook was to the vanguard that has become mainstream ... with another register I would compare with Bjork: these discs should not have worked and be referred to a small audience, and ultimately it is the other way around ... the mass tastes good times, right time, right place
